xcb_xinerama_is_active(3)

💖 xcb_xinerama_is_active — the XCB Requests girlies 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to xcb_xinerama_is_active(3) — it's a lil request function from the xcb library that lives in <xcb/xinerama.h> and it's about finding out whether Xinerama is, like, active. that's the whole vibe. the NAME section is literally just the function name with nothing after it, which honestly? iconic minimalism. periodt.

#include <xcb/xinerama.h>

🫶 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🫶

• conn — The XCB connection to X11. it's the lil thread that ties you to the server, your main character connection, yk?

---

💅 REPLY FIELDS 💅

• response_type — the type of this reply, and in this case it's XCB_XINERAMA_IS_ACTIVE. this field is also chillin' inside xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other. very "which one of y'all is which" energy.
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request that got processed by the X11 server. it's giving tracking number for your request 🧾
• length — the length of the reply, measured in words. and a word here is 4 bytes, bestie, don't forget that part.
• state — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. they left us on read. 🙈

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

...there's literally nothing here. the section exists and it's empty. the void. the silence. the audacity 💀 lowkey obsessed with how much they didn't say.

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

it returns an xcb_xinerama_is_active_cookie_t. and okay, listen — errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_xinerama_is_active_reply. that's the deal.

but if you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_xinerama_is_active_unchecked. and if you want the whole rundown on how that works, go read xcb-requests(3) — it's the lore drop you need fr fr.

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

this request does never generate any errors. zero. none. not a single one. it's the chillest request in the whole building, no drama, no chaos, just vibes ✨

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

nothing listed. empty. a whole SEE ALSO section with nothing to see. we love a mysterious queen 💜
